I’ve practically abandoned this blog, and I think it’s because writing blog posts burden me with a great amount of pressure to say what I want to say, how I want to say it. The formality with which I approach these posts is a source of unnecessary perfectionism, and because of it I often defer every topic I want to write about until I have more time to think through both content and delivery.
For this reason I’ve finally gotten around to setting up a “tumblog” (powered by Tumblr) to experiment with at andychen.tumblr.com. Tumblogs, in case you’re not familiar, are a simple blog format that let you share interesting tidbits, media, and content from around the web without having to think about what to write. You can stick a “Share on Tumblr” bookmark in your Firefox and instantly post quotes, links, videos, songs, or pictures without any the hassles of logging into wordpress and formatting your entry, etc.
Of course, one sacrifices thoughtful and original commentary for the sake of sharing things quick and painlessly.
helloooooooooo!
